PY - 2015 T2 - Color Atlas and Synopsis of Vascular Diseases AB - A 35-year-old Caucasian man was referred for evaluation of recurrent upper extremity digital ischemia. He had experienced three discrete episodes of acute right finger discoloration over the previous 2 years. The first episode involved a spontaneous, painless purple mass that appeared at the base of the right fourth finger without antecedent trauma. A two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) performed to assess for a cardiogenic source of emboli was normal. The finger discoloration resolved within several days. Computed tomographic angiography (CTA) of the aortic arch and left upper extremity arteries was performed and was normal. He was ultimately diagnosed with benign blue finger.
